   Yes, although this was still three acts plus a long intro. Once the commercial   
   break moved from right after the intro to right before the (coda and) credits   
   in 2009, Treehouse of Horror episodes have been the main exception. Typically   
   they get a break    
   after the special intro, and if it's a long narrative they can feel like a   
   fourth act.   
      
   Kudos for "didn't...use" though.   
      
   Oh and I checked out the huge grid of episodes. It's 37 rows, not 36, and   
   37*18 = 666 exactly. I didn't check every single (tiny and hard to discern   
   with that aspect ratio!) clip, but I did confirm about one per row, and they   
   all seem to be there, in    
   broadcast order, INCLUDING 7F24, which even has a clip of Leon Kompowski   
   playing Happy Birthday Lisa! How about that? (It also has a clip from the   
   beginning of this episode in the last spot.) Odd, though, that neither clip of   
   7F04, the original Treehouse    
   of Horror, uses a clip from the titular treehouse. Oh well.
